Nah, it was more satisfying to end it amicably. I could have burnt bridges for some brief catharsis, but that would have just vindicated him in his eyes. He's the one who threw away a friendship over a petty political disagreement, he'll have to think about that.
He will definitely think about it, but only in order to seethe rather than contemplate: I can't believe that shitty conservative made me make myself look bad, harumpf!
Killing with kindness is more effective than being mean anyways. Assuming he’s not a sociopath, eventually it will eat at him that you left pretty level headed and was willing to continue despite disagreeing on something political while he could not grasp that concept. It might be a couple of years but one day that switch will flip and they will feel like the ass hole they were

Match vibes. If they disengage amicably, reciprocate. If they screech like a Stuka, unleash the hounds.
